Honest answers, plainly.

A small, independent macOS software lab in Antalya. Quiet, focused utilities for people who work deeply — named after places, plants, and old words from Antalya and Lycia.

Each app does one thing well. Bundling everything into one tool would mean every user paying for features they’ll never touch. Small apps stay small — easier to learn, lighter on your Mac, and easy to walk away from if they don’t fit.

Your data lives on your Mac. The apps don’t need a cloud account to work. License activation talks to a DNZ Labs backend once on activation and occasionally to confirm you’re still licensed — nothing else leaves your machine without you asking.

macOS only. Native SwiftUI / AppKit, designed for the platform instead of being a wrapper over a web tech stack. iOS / iPadOS / Windows / Linux aren’t planned.

Every app ships as a universal binary — Apple Silicon and Intel in one download, no separate builds to choose between. The floor is macOS 13 Ventura. An individual app may ask for more, and each product page states its own minimum right next to the download button.

No. Every build is signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple before it leaves here — the release pipeline refuses to run without it. Open the app the normal way. If Gatekeeper does complain, treat the download as damaged and fetch it again rather than working around the warning.

Direct distribution keeps the parts that matter: apps that need real access to your system — ports, processes, files on disk — without bending them around the sandbox, and fixes that ship the day they’re ready instead of when a review queue clears. The trade is that you download from here, which is why every build is notarized and every download link resolves to the latest release.

Yes — the store is live. Each app’s page shows what it costs and whether there’s a build to download yet; a couple are listed with a price slightly ahead of their first release. Start from the Apps page.

Today it’s a free tier plus a one-time Lifetime license. Nothing on this site is a subscription. Most paid apps keep a free tier that never expires and never nags; one (Oleo) gives you a fixed number of real captures instead of a permanent free tier. Annual licensing exists in the system and in the policy, but no app ships on it right now.

See the License Policy for the exact tiers and activation rules.

One payment, no renewal, no expiry date — and the ordinary updates that follow are included. What it doesn’t automatically cover is a different product or a major paid upgrade, should one ever exist; no paid upgrade exists today. Section 7 of the License Policy is the exact wording.

Each license carries a device limit, shown at checkout. Replacing a Mac, reinstalling macOS, or hitting the limit is a support email, not a lost license — write in and the activation gets moved.

Both had a paid tier, and it didn’t hold up. In each case what sat behind the license was a convenience on top of a job the free tier already did end to end — a faster way to kill a port, two extra lens shapes. Charging for that made the prices that do cover real work harder to believe. Both now ship whole, with no license and no limits. Each has a pay-what-you-want link if the app has saved you time; it buys nothing and issues no key.

If a DNZ Labs product doesn’t fit, contact us. Refund handling depends on the payment processor (Lemon Squeezy), license type, and the circumstances — details on the Refund Policy page.

No analytics, no telemetry, no third-party trackers. License activation sends a device hash (not your hardware identifiers) and your license key. The license server logs an activation event so you can see your own devices later. Beyond that, your data stays on your Mac.

Yes. There’s no account and no login. A paid app verifies its license when you activate it and occasionally after that; when it can’t reach the server it keeps running on the last known good answer instead of locking you out. Free apps never talk to a license server at all.

Through Sparkle, the standard macOS open-source updater. Apps check for new versions over a signed feed and you decide when to install. The menu-bar apps surface an available update calmly in the status menu instead of popping a modal at you mid-work.

I use Claude and Codex as collaborators on the code — the boring and brutal parts. Ideas, taste, naming, design decisions, and the final call on what ships are mine. The apps themselves don’t bundle AI features and don’t call out to LLMs unless that’s their explicit purpose.
